Yes. I also had some lag spikes when gaming on international servers

Nope, I meant MSS. Max Segment Size. Asus routers have a funky TCP stack that may need some tweaking - I think Asus might have an MRU setting too. But set PPPOE to 1480, MSS to 1412. It's also worth changing MRU if the option is there to 1412. Lag spikes are probably from fragmented packets and game engine compensation.

Just out of interest, how is your IPv6 implementation going on that router? We struggled with another client running IPv6 on similar hardware.

Even after making all the suggested changes the console still indicates that packets are fragmented. IPv6 is ticking along nicely no problem getting assigned an address or anything that I have noticed. Tell them to flash the latest Asus Merlin firmware.
 
Not sure if it's just me but certain services aren't working or very slow (Reddit, Tapatalk etc)

All in all happy sofar with the new cheaper account :) just had to do some small tweaks to my Mikrotik to switch to PPPoE from DHCP

Order placed on Friday, OS installed yesterday. Let the savings roll in! :)

What tweaks did you have to do? I'm also on Mikrotik. I've only disabled the DHCP client, switched cables and enabled PPPOE.

Download speed is fine at 50 but upload seems to be only 25.. did you have that?

@websquadza Can you check signal levels perhaps?

PS. This is on wifi but multiple devices on different APs give the same result. 5G/2.4G doesn't matter and there's no interference.

Openserve confirmed 50 Mbps is asymmetrical, so you'll only get 25 Mbps up. Only the 25 Mbps is Symmetrical now.

Don't forget to enable IPv6. Shout if you need a hand

Didn't see any issues here. KZN right? We did see G Core's CDN crash earlier in the day (14:25 for about 25 mins). But no other issues

Something's not looking right there, should be a bit lower than that. I'll reach out via PM and see what's happening.

Sorry man... I could have sworn OS was 50/50... guess I was looking at the 25 originally and assumed the 50 would be the same.

Ok nothing to see here... move along :D


PS. Please convey my thanks to norah and karabo who assisted me yesterday.

Yep KZN. Sorry I forgot to follow up. It came right after a few minutes. Could be related to the issue you mentioned, not sure.
